I was asked last week if the sales orders had a promise date - you know, separate from the Ship By date (aka OrderRel.ReqDate). And I said, no, not that I see. Any logic as to why there is not a promise date? The POs have this. It seems to make sense. Need By = when it should get there (Need mi…

Some fun reading by @timshuwy [image] Order Due Date vs Job Due Date Epicor ERP 10 Just to mix things up a bit… (opening another can of worms here) I always like to throw in a new UD field in Order Release called “Promised Ship Date”… this date is not allowed to be changed…

Well, if @timshuwy agrees, then I am usually on mighty solid ground. OK, so agreed, then, it makes perfect sense and it is ridiculous that it is not part of the system? Sold. I’ll put in the Idea and update this. Also I saw in one of those posts that it is an existing enhancement request, but I t…

Idea 1873 https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/ideas/ERP-I-1873

Thank you for the upvote, though. :slightly_smiling_face:

[image] timshuwy: if you enter a promise date into the header So, one must enter this manually/separately? IMO, I feel like it should default from the Ship By Date on a new sales order. (For example, today the Ship By Date defaults from the Need By Date at first.) Then after that, changing…

promise date is NOT populated automatically, although it would be very simple to create a BPM to default it to the scheduled ship date if you like. We chose to make it manually entered since the word “promise” is a stronger word than “Scheduled”. The idea is that once you promise it, that is what yo…

[image] timshuwy: this aligns with how Purchasing works… you can create a PO with a due date, but the promise date is still needed to be manually entered. I certainly can’t argue with that - consistency is always the best approach. This is interesting; I guess I’d have to think about where i…

our process where I used to work was: create the order and put in the dates that we felt met the customer need but NO PROMISE yet. Engineering examined the order and approved it (we were mostly make to order Aerospace/medical/millatary electronics MFG). After engineering approved, then Production/…
